I have bought most of my appliances second-hand and have
been very pleased with almost all of them. *Obviously you have to pick
and choose and wait for the bargains.

And where exactly do you do this picking, choosing, and waiting?

eBay, Gumtree, Freecycle...

Postcards in the newsagent's window, newspaper small ads...
